Hello there! Today’s Quest of Fire Friday ventures into some interesting details about a couple locations central to the next book in the series. What’s especially fun about these locations (besides their fun facts) is the contrasts between each one and what they imply about writing as a whole. One location I’ve had the back...

QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: THE NAME GAME
Hello there! Welcome to the first Quest of Fire Friday in quite some time. As I mentioned in my last post, things have been kind of busy for me and I regrettably couldn't keep up with posting. I'm still not sure how consistently I'll be able to now, but I do want to share updates... Continue Reading →

QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: LORE – STORMRIDGE
Good evening! It’s late on this Quest of Fire Friday, so thank you for joining me. Recently I’ve been talking about the newest Quest of Fire release, Desperation, but today I wanted to dive back into the lore of the Lowlands. Every time I start to root through the annals of the Lowlands history... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: DESPERATION
Desperation has been out for three days. Years of walking the solitary paths of Ecthelowall and the Isle of Geists and now I get to share them with others! It's an incredible blessing. One I certainly don't deserve and requires immeasurable patience and loving kindness from the Lord (I'm a fairly coarse and stubborn brush... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

I plan to talk about one on Tuesday (work requirements pushed back my planned post on that news), but tonight I want to talk about an... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: REALM MAKERS
So, it’s been a couple weeks since my last post and it’s with good reason. Two weeks ago, I had my family vacation and attended the Realm Makers writers conference. Since then I’ve had a flurry of things to get done in advance of the four book releases I have later this year (YEAH, FOUR!).... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: THE ISLAND
It’s another late-night post for this Quest of Fire Friday, and I have to admit that the past couple weeks it’s been rough getting things posted because of busyness in life. In fact, I had all but decided not to post at all last week, but I felt like the Lord was leading me to... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Recently while reading a review of Shadows at Nightfall I saw that that particular reader had caught on to one of the major mysteries of the series and a source of tension for Jason during much of the book: who is Cinaed the Storyteller? When Jason first meets Cinaed he's just an old man telling... Continue Reading →
QUEST OF FIRE FRIDAY: STAR-CROSSED LOVERS
“‘You strolled in out of the rain, and I never saw this—’ she took both his hands in hers and gave them an insistent tug. She waited till his eyes met hers. ‘—coming. I grew up with stories of Tislatna’s Cinaed and Elena, Ordumair II and Alessia, and Anargen and Seren. I never held hope... Continue Reading →
